H1b interview at Mumbai - 221(g) - No status update
Hello,

  I went for my H1b visa stamping interview at Mumbai consulate on October 12, 2018. The visa officer asked me regular questions about my employer, the end client, about the project and my yearly salary and handed me green slip for 221(g). He kept my passports with him and told me that he will get back to me via email if they need anything. After 7-10 days I got my passports back without the visa stamp but with another green slip 221(g) like the one I received during my interview.. On CEAC website the status shows administrative processing and the last updated date is October 12, 2018 which was my interview date. That means there is no update in the case status. It has been more than 6 weeks without any updates from the consulate.

Do anyone have this kind of experience? This doesn't seem normal to me that they haven't gotten back to me with any further request for documents, neither have they contacted my employer nor the end client.

Any input, advice in this matter will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Dropbox - H1B & H4 - Delhi - Approved
Hi,

2nd time H1B Dropbox (Same location. Same Employer. Full-time employee.)
1st time H4 Dropbox

2 separate DS160 forms were filled.
2 separate ustraveldocs accounts were created for paying visa fees. One for H1B and one for H4.
Note: In ustraveldocs, there is an option to add/link H4's DS160 information in the primary (H1B) applicant's account, but I chose to create separate accounts as dropbox eligibility questions are different for H1B and H4.

Visa expiration date on passport : Feb 01 2018
I94 date on latest I797 : Feb 01 2021

Travel Date : OCT 25 2018
Dropbox date : OCT 25 2018
Location : Delhi, Note: The location has been shifted from Nehru place to shivaji stadium metro station. You do not have to exit the metro station.

                                        : For H4 - Passport, Photocopy of Current I797 (H4), Photocopy of Current I797 (H1B), Photocopy of H1B's visa, Dropbox confirmation.
                                        *Check the Dropbox confirmation letter and bring photocopies of all documents listed in there.

Documents required for
pickup (self) : Dropbox Confirmation letter. Any Government authorized photo Id.

Note: I saw many parents struggling while collecting passports of their children because of lack of documents. If you are sending your parents for pickup make sure they have all required documents.

Passport ready for
pick-up (H1B) : OCT 30 2018
Visa approved till Feb 01 2021.

Passport ready for
pick-up (H4) : NOV 02 2018
Visa approved till Feb 01 2021.
A "Cancelled Without Prejudice" stamp was put on my wife's previous H4 visa.
Not sure what the reason was, but it didn't cause us any issue while coming back to USA.

Visa approved but in Admin Processing New Delhi
I gave my interview in last week of October and it is in AP till now. My visa was approved at the window and I did not get any slip. I wrote to Support@ustravels but got a generic reply. Does anyone suggest i write to the embassy at this point. It has been more than 20 days. Does anyone know if the embassy will reply to the emails.
I would appreciate any feedback.

Dropbox Bangalore - 221g
Hi,

Here is my case. 3rd H1b renewal. 2nd dropbox. Changed employer. EVC model

11/5 - dropped off document
11/13 - passport returned with blue 221g to attend interview at Chennai Visa office

11/9 - Attended interview. Was asked about Job position, client and client location, salary, w2, task contract, client letter etc.
I work for federal client. Provided task order with federal contract, vendor letter. VO seems fine with that.
Previous H1 got approved with same end client. I was asked questions about F1 university, graduation date from 2011 etc. He said didn't need any additional documentation

At the end he retained that passport and handed blue 221g which had admin processing box ticked.

Please provide your inputs on my case?

Help regarding h1-b visa interview
I have my h-1b consular stamping interview next week. I am a FTE in USA. I got promoted from software Engineer to senior software engineer this year. But, when my H-1b was filed, I was a Software Engineer. I have reached out to my attorney and he said I wont be needing any amendment as the duties didn't change. But my verification of employment letter lists my updated role and salary. When the visa officer asks me about my role and salary., should I mention the role as in H-1b application or my updated role?! Please do let me know. Thanks in advance.
